Menopause/ perimenopausal management is a service we provide through TLJ Concierge Primary Care. A thorough personal and history, physical examination and assessment are required for us to determine whether you are a good candidate for hormone replacement therapy (HRT). Women’s health is complex so we believe that you and your health should be managed thoughtfully and only with science/evidence- based approach.

To learn more and determine whether TLJ is a good fit for you, simply text or phone our office for a complimentary meet and greet visit to discuss your needs and how we can assist.

Yes, we do offer feminine rejuvenation for issues including urinary incontinence, vaginal dryness, vaginal laxity. As part of that treatment, we may suggest topical vaginal estrogen as well. While we suggest considering TLJ Concierge Primary Care for a more comprehensive approach, it is not a requirement for this specific in office treatment.

Insurance does not cover ThermiVa treatments. Some health savings account may, however. Check with your HSA to determine your eligibility. Otherwise, this treatment is self-pay.

It is not true that women must be uncomfortable in their own bodies when stages of life change. From childhood all the way to senior years, we are changing all of the time. One particular stage of life can be challenging for women – menopause. There is a lot of misinformation and a lot of medical provider lack of interest in this topic. At TLJ Concierge Primary Care, we find educating women on this subject to be particularly rewarding. Helping you with solutions that are safe and make a difference in your quality of life, even more so. Menopause does not need to be so challenging and we are here to help you.

Intimate issues such as bladder leakage, vaginal laxity, vaginal dryness, external structure laxity are all issues that can be successfully treated without surgery or medication, in many cases. Bladder leakage can severely limit the activity level of women and quality of life. Laxity and dryness can affect sexual wellness and intimacy with one’s partner. At TLJ, we have found ThermiVa to be life changing for women. No pain and no downtime, and the treatment duration is less than 30 minutes.

Since a highly publicized study, “Women’s Health Initiative,” published in 2002 sounded the alarms about potential safety issues of hormone replacement in women, panic ensued. An while we have answered most of the questions and quieted those alarms, misinformation and misguided hormone management are still all too common. It is important to be evaluated and treated with a provider who only practices science based, evidence based medicine for your safety and wellbeing.
